How do you set up the Sensorly app to send updates? I can see what others update.

If you are on ios, you can't. On Android, you use the map trip option.

If the RootMetrics app can map, I'm not sure why the Sensorly app can't :/. I think it's more of a developer issue at this point.

Nope, it's Apple. Sensorly reads low level radio issues so that it knows exactly the carrier, signal and type. Root metrics gets a high level network connected type yes/no. Apple prohibits their customers from using their device in a way not approved by Apple and Apple has determined that their customers are too stupid to decide if an app should have read only access to low level radio information.

Here's where it gets bad. Example: If you are on AT&T and drive I80 through Wyoming. Root metrics will merrily map it as AT&T. Unfortunately AT&T has no service there. It's all roaming. This leaves the RM app to be completely unreliable in determining where a carrier has a certain type of coverage.

Sensorly will map the same area as signal for union wireless, keeping the maps integrity.
